The Story

A cup of coffee should be delicious, sweet and complex, something rather special - back in 2007 something rather special in the world of coffee could not easily be found so we decided to try and change that.

Today after a number of expansive roastery moves, continued investment new technologies and people that add to a great team spirit here at Coffee Real, working with some wonderful coffee farmers from prime growing areas all over the world and building a customer base that love us unconditionally for what we do we’re still here roasting.

So I guess something rather special did happen when we started back in early 2008.

The History

If you have been lucky enough to taste coffee that is absolutely delicious over something that’s just plain and flat – your going to want that delicious taste all the time – back in 2008 delicious coffee could not easily be found - so we thought we’d try and change that.

We know 2008 is not decades ago, but a lot has happed at Coffee Real within that time – we’ve had to move and expand our roastery a number times, we’ve invested in bigger and better roasting technologies, created some jobs along the way for a bunch of likeminded coffee nuts, we’ve travelled to some insanely remote places to work with some wonderful coffee farming families and we’re still here roasting which is really down to a loyal customer base that really love us unconditionally for what we do.

The Coffee

We wish everybody could taste just how amazing a simple cup of coffee can be - especially when the raw coffee has been sourced directly from farmers that put quality at the forefront of everything they do.

Finding coffee that is amazing is no easy task – you would not believe the amount of time and effort we spend each year finding coffees that (you know) tick all the boxes, hit the spot.

We maybe a relativity young company but we learnt pretty early on that you can’t sit back in the UK and expect that special kind of quality to arrive at your door – it just doesn’t happen – if your serious about coffee you have to put in the time and effort - hunt out the right farmers and really understand the coffee they produce – you need to get under its skin (so to speak) – and the only way you can do that is to go to the origin and build mutually beneficial relationships with the family’s that grow the stuff…

It doesn’t end there though as we are constantly challenging ourselves to perfect taste that best reflect an origin. Each coffee has its own unique character and therefore to perfect taste each coffee has to be roasted differently with this in mind.

It’s not a 5 minute job – then again there’s no short cut to quality.

The Roasting

Basically anyone can roast coffee - it’s easy - it’s how you roast it that matters.

I mean to be able to take raw coffee an agricultural product and change its structure - in a certain way by guiding it through varying degrees of heat and time and to end up with a unique flavour that best reflects its origin - is a skill - not an easy task.

It’s hard to explain but an experienced coffee roaster will have a connection with the coffee as it roasts – they’ll know by the look - and by the sound - of both the coffee and the machine when it’s right.

We roast our coffee using the very latest technology and we’ve modified it little to give us the ability to still hand craft our coffee but at the same time use computer control and a unique roasting environment produce the flavour profiles our customers love with absolute consistency.

We believe our roasted coffee beans are the best - we only purcahse the very best beans from farms that barvest and process in a specific way. This means when we hand roast our beans in small batches the taste and flavour profiles we are able to produce are like no other and stand out from others. We are only as good as our last roast and if we feel our roasted coffee beans are not up to our high standards then they will join the compost, we only want to produce the finest coffee to our customers.

If your business serves coffee and wants to serve only the very best, then we want to hear from you.

Coffee Real only work with businesses that share our enthusiasm for absolute quality in coffee. Businesses that use our wholesale coffee beans and ground coffee normally come to us via referral. If you choose to use us as coffee supplier for your business then you will experience how hands-on we are at helping you understand and present a whole new world of coffee to your customers. But don't take our word for it - talk to our customers about us.

All our single estate roasted coffee beans are delivered within 48 hours of roasting so that the flavour profiles experienced in a cup are as fresh and flavoursome as possible.
Coffee Real has some of the best naturally decaffeinated coffee you'll ever taste. Just because you don't need that extra kick in the morning or you have trouble sleeping at night does not mean you have to forgo smoothness for bitterness and flavour for flatness in our single estate decaffeinated coffee.
